With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Carbine FTW.

Reach MMO. Here's to hoping.

And the people that believe "the hardcore playlists would be more popular if the rules were strictly MLG" can come off it, now. If you're not willing to support something close to your own setup, there's no reason for us to believe that cloning our own lists and stripping the variety down will attract more people. -- Shishka, Bungie.net

I could go either way on this. I still think there needs to be good mid range weapons. And most battles happen at mid range. So whether it is the BR, carbine, ODST pistol, HCE pistol or something new...there needs to be something that will kill effectively at 25 yards or so.

Because he's the hero Gotham deserves,not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him, because he can take it. He's not a hero. He's a Silent Guardian, a Watchful Protector, A Dark Knight

Eh?

BR or no BR i dont think it really matters. I like the BR because its good long range and short range.

Bungie should have made it so you could get headshots with other weapons when people dont have shields, like getting headshots with the AR or SMG.

  • 10.07.2009 2:13 PM PDT

They should bring back the Halo 1 AR and give it a red laser sight and make it so that you can change it from full auto to semi auto.

Bungie really needs to increase the Damage done by Covenant weapons, a normal plasma pistol should be a lot stronger then a normal magnum.

The BR is just so over used we really need a few new weapons that are as strong or stronger then the BR.

Gavintaft, you must be a COMPLETE noob.


Yeah because I care if i'm good at a video game :/


clearly you care about the video game enough to make people argue as you started a thread in a forum wanting to ban a weapon that most people love

Anybody who can 4 shot with a br has the skill to kick ur ass with any weapon.

i would love to see the br in reach but either it needs to be repeatedly hit with the nerf bat (which i'd perfer not) or the other weapons need to have thier power increased.

really. then why so you only have 1 plasma pistol kill, no cone kills, no plasma cannon, sentinel beam, firebomb, wraith gunner, scorpion gunner or bomb explosion kills?

you said any weapon.

  • 10.07.2009 3:03 PM PDT

sup

the br is the best, funnest, most balanced, well thought-out gun in any video game ever.

fully auto weapons don't have headshots for a reason. it is broken

Need a dispenser here! Need a dispenser here! Need a dispenser here!

Look at the Halo 3: ODST balancing. BR is NOT necessary.

ABSOLUTELY! I love pulling the trigger 3 times.

  • 10.07.2009 3:32 PM PDT

I agree that the br should be taken out. Its become the center weapon of halo, and pretty much the one that everyone uses. Its just the weapon thats pretty much great at everything. Im not saying the gun is terrible, im saying that its overpowered, like halo ce's pistol. For that reason it should just be taken out. Thats why i love halo odst so much, they left out the br and made a magnum thats weak against sheilds but great for headshots, which promotes weapon combos. Halo reach would just be better off without the br, it should just be replaced with a different headshot capable weapon, one thats weak against shields, but can pull of headshots with ease.

blarg.

If you watch the H2 special edition dvd you'll find hat the BR was originally meant to be something like the Halo 1 pistol.

I hope Bungie makes it like that.

The Battle Rifle could be in Reach, since the gun was around since Contact Harvest(before Reach). However, I wouldn't mind either out come. What I want is if the AR is going to be in Reach, it better sound beastly like the one from Halo 1, that sound was cool. Halo 3's sounds like a toy. Carbine is superior, except in ammo capacity.

I laugh at all the people thinking the BR will be in Reach.

I'm fairly sure there were only beta versions of the BR at the time of Reach.

So perhaps we will have like a crappy beta version of a Battle Rifle while playing Reach then, like the Halo 3's pistol maybe?

No one 4 shots consistently, not even MLG pro's.

Whether or not there is a Battle Rifle in Halo Reach, there will be a medium range weapon that fills its role. To think otherwise is ridiculous.
